'G is for Glitz'
(with the added extra of silver)
I've made a 'tent' card, covering the front of the card with the paper from Toucan Scraps, before cutting an oval aperture using my Nesties. On the inside of the card, I've used my Cuttlebug 'Snowflakes' folder on some silver paper. From the top of the aperture, I've hung a 'bauble' made using a Penny Black stamp embossed in silver on black card (I've stamped it on both sides, so the sentiment can still be seen when it spins around). It doesn't show up very well in the photo, but I added some adhesive gems to the centres on the snowflakes for some 'glitz'.

We are sponsored for this challenge by Toucan Scraps, who provided the DT with a sample paper pack for us to use on our cards. I only have a B&W printer, so I wasn't sure how the paper would come out, but combined with the silver, it's made a really dramatic colour scheme.
